IFS Solutions

Currently evaluating upgrading to utilize Lidar laser equipment to measure raw materials in silos.  Was wondering if anyone is currently using this type of solution or another solution that works well.  Would love any feedback.  

Brazeway will send lot controlled materials to an outside supplier that are then cut or machined into a different part that is also lot controlled.  However, there is no way to know what lot number of raw material went into the lot number of the machined part.  This is similar to an “As Built” Structure available on manufactured items.  Oh, by the way, the supplier may not tell us what goes into what.Has anyone encountered this situation and if so, how did you resolve it?  Thanks!! 

Basically I tried like below and all kinds of variations of it but it somehow never took the Contract parameter from the search context it was always NULL.However, I have a List on this page as well and the same thing that works for that.So is it possible at all to filter a Group using a search context? searchcontext WagePageSearchContext bind LaborClassSelector { defaults = GetWagePageSearchContextDefaults();}selector LaborClassSelector;group LaborClassGroup using GetLaborClassRows(searchcontext.WagePageSearchContext.Contract);   

Hello! My company is exploring options to reduce the number of calls that come in asking for tracking numbers on customer orders. On our Shipment screen, when orders are processed through our shipping software, tracking info is automatically populated in the Master Tracking No column in the Freight Transactions tab. Could we write a custom event that would email the  Receiver of the Shipment whenever that master tracking number is imported? If so, how could we go about doing this?Thanks!

Hello Please is it possible to modify customer ownership during an RMA in IFS Cloud 24R1? 

Is it possible to debug PL/SQL code in IFS Cloud? If so, how does one configure it. I’m unable to figure out how to call the Dbms_Network_Acl_Admin.Append_Host_Ace procedure necessary to create the required ACL no matter what I’ve tried. Build Place obviously. Know Use Places wouldn’t be possible or I’d be surprised if you could.

We are required to log the serial numbers of parts for a new type of job we have taken on. Currently we have a lookup field for the part and a separate field for the serial where we will scan the barcode for entry. We then press a save button which has a  script for a data transaction to update the part_usage table. The issue we have is that the serial number needs to be recorded on the part_usage_serial This would require a separate transaction but the pu_id from the first transaction would be required as a key to link the tables.  Also because the part is flagged as having a serial number the original transaction fails.  In the smart client when you enter the part_usage a box pops up to enter the serial number and it all works. How do I achieve this on the mobile application? 

Is there a function in IFS that allows losses on completion to be recorded?

Where invoicing is generated from a Service Contract or a Request Contract, the final invoice does not have a reference to the original contract, which is a common requirement to display on the invoice document.Currently, any invoices generated from the request contract create firstly an invoice preview, then a customer order and lastly the invoice. These are the references available:On the Invoice Preview, the Work Task / WO number is available, but not the Request Contract On the Customer Order, the reference is the Invoice Preview Number On the Customer Order invoice, the reference is the Customer Order numberIdeally, there should be additional references available at all levels to the Request number and the Request Contract number, as well as Standard Command buttons to allow users to navigate to the source contract/Request / Work Task. 

I am trying to add a user to the Invoice Posting Authorizers screen, but the user does not come up when I start to type their name. Supposedly the only two prerequisites for this are that the user exists in the Person window - which they do. And there should also be authorization group IDs defined in the Authorization Combination Rules window - which there are. And this user is parts of that authorization group. Why doesn’t their name appear when I try to add them?

I have created a Quick Report (Crystal Report) that has a parameter @OrderNo. Next I created a custom menu on the Customer Order screen that maps the parameter:  Source = ORDER_NO  Destination:  @OrderNo On doing RMB and selecting the custom menu the @OrderNo parameter is displaying the Order No for the Customer Order that was in view at the time which is what I expected.  However, when the report is displayed no data is being displayed. If I run the report in Crystal Reports and enter the Order No the report displays data. I have tried selecting View on the Quick Report and entering the Order No in the parameter field and again no data is being displayed. Any ideas?   John  

Hi all,Why does my custom screen gets cleared when I go back to it from the ’Recent Screens’ button?The ’Back’ button of the browser works fine in this sense, I can see all my previous data there.Most other screens, for instance ’Inventory Part’, retain their displayed data when I return to them via the ’Recent Screens’ button also.How can I make my custom screen retain its queried data on such occasions too, when using the ’Recent Screens’ button?It is Cloud 24.1.4. Thanks in advanceJanos

Hello IFS community, I have a question regarding how the Lot Size Based Product Structure works. Here is a short summary of what I tested:Product Structure  - Lot Size Structure – Anything bigger than 23 pcs should have Alternate “1” and anything smaller should use alternate “*”.I then master scheduled 35 pcs of this part number in one day. My Planning details for lot sizing are set as follows: Max lot size set to 25 pcs (no min or Std).Result – Two Shop Order requisitions: 1 with 10 lot size and one with 25 lot size but BOTH with alternate 1 (only for lots bigger than 23). EXPECTED result: Two Shop Order Reqs: 1 with 10 and one with 25 but with different PRODUCT ALTERNATES. In this case, we are trying to tell IFS to use a different packaging for when we make 25 pcs Lot size. I read in the link below that only MRP checks through Lot Size Based Product Structure:Selecting Product Structure Alternate while performing MRP/MS in App-9 | IFS Community Is this true or am I facing a bug? And

Hello Community,I’m currently performing returns on prepare work orders and have encountered a situation I hope someone can help clarify. When I return a part to inventory, I get the option to select a cost bucket ID. I typically choose cost bucket ID 110, but when I review the transaction history, I notice that the cost bucket displays as '*'.Is there a specific logic or reason behind this behavior? I’m particularly observing this with standard cost parts, so I’m curious if there’s something specific to those items that might be causing this discrepancy.Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Community,I'm facing an issue with the Data Migration Manager. Whenever I deploy records that include dates, the time is being interpreted as 12:00 PM instead of 12:00 AM, which leads to a "resource not found" error.For example: 1/1/2000 12:00 PM is being used, but it should be 1/1/2000 12:00 AM.I've tried modifying the date format in the legacy file, but that hasn't resolved the issue.Thank you for your support.

Hi Experts,Is there a default field in the work order or Task to show the percantage of completion like in Project? It could be #Time-Based Progress (Planned vs. Actual Time Usage)#Task-Based Progress (Based on Task Status)#Date-Based Progress (Schedule Progress) Example:Suppose:5 tasks under a Work OrderPlanned hours: 40 totalReported hours so far: 202 tasks completed, each worth 8 hoursRemaining 3 tasks worth 8, 10, and 6 hours respectivelyTime-Based Progress:(20 / 40) * 100 = 50%Task-Based Progress (Weighted):(8+8) / (8+8+8+10+6) = 16 / 40 = 40%This might show:Reported Progress: 50%Task Completion: 40%Planned Progress (based on dates): say, 60% Thanks,KM

Hi folks,I remeber a question from the certification asking, the activity costs and hours can be categorized into three primary groups: Budgetary Targets, Metrics, Actuals. Does anybody know which of the coumns of the Cost Tab in Project Monitoring are included in the group “Budgetary Targes”?Estimates, Planned, Baseline/None/Earned Value, Scheduled Work or Planned Committed, Commited, Used.Thx in advance!Markus

Hi,I have activities that are unallocated in PSO that have been sent from IFS Cloud (24R2). When checking the explanations, I am receiving the following message as an example for an activity. "Activity 158727 cannot be scheduled. The activity is only available outside of the scheduling window."  Where can I determine the scheduling window or configure it so it can be allocated to a resource?  Best,Anthony 

Hello,I’m currently working with Kanban processes in IFS App10, and I’m exploring the possibility of integrating RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology with our Kanban containers.The main idea is to automate the process so that users don’t have to manually execute the transportation tasks when the containers return to the warehouse or designated location.Is this type of integration supported in IFS App10? Thanks in advance!

We are looking to find a way to zero out and add back our inventory quantities, as that is a requirement to move from FIFO to Standard Costing and Allow Negative OnHand. Long story short, IFS deprecated deferred backflushes from Apps10 on.We are in IFS APPS8 but upgrading to Cloud. We want to do this change before said upgrade.Does anyone have any ideas how to do this is a script or batch manner?We have engaged IFS to provide with a script but they’re not really coming thru, and our implementation partner doesn’t want the liability -if they provide the script and somehow that fails and messes our data.We would need one method/script/batch to zero out our Inv Part in Stock quantities, and another to add the quantities back, in-between us make the inventory part changes and rolling costs.Our partner suggested that maybe a script using Issue Inventory Part and Receive Inventory Part, but the problem there is that the receive method changes the receipt date. It would probably have to be Co

Is it possible to turn off forecast consumption entirely in Master Schedule?We have parts with forecast consumption of 0 (backwards and forward). If actual demand and forecast of the part lands on the same day, the forecast is still consumed. We forecast in monthly buckets and manually delete forecast as actual orders are entered. For this reason both the forecast and actual demand need to be counted towards generating supplies. Regards!Eric

Hi all. I’m testing UPD24 Apps10 with MWO Maintenance 10.As i try to attach a picture from camera, the app is stuck in Media detail screen and does noting after the message: “Getting location data.
